Amazon's thin client: Wrong idea, wrong time. Here's why
- WheelsAtLarge 3y agoWrong... It's the right idea at the right time. Cloud computing is only getting bigger in terms of taking over the enterprise. PCs are a pain and expensive, in both time and money, to maintain. We have gotten to the point where there's very little that an office worker needs to do that can't be done over the net. There's no reason why a full computer is needed for 90%+ of office workers. It's not 2000. Even a very cheap thin client computer can be very powerful and the connection speed is many times what you could get then. Companies are always looking for ways to save money. This change is a no-brainer.
